33 Apocalypse Ave (and eventually to Limbo City), Friday Afternoon

[spin_kick_snap]

Last week, Kathy had been an utter lump, eating ice cream and playing sad music and watching a lot of TV while she got used to life without the guys. This week wasn't actually much easier, but Kathy's tolerance for her own moping had run out and left her needing to do something that wasn't just dwell.

Fortunately, it wasn't like she was lacking in options. With the guys gone and Raven spending most of her time out in the woods, the house was just too big and full of memories. So she was moving back to the apartment above Luke's - along with Raven, at least nominally - and this week she'd really gotten her ass in gear when it came to packing. Most of the upstairs was packed, even if those boxes were still mostly stacked downstairs, and now she was just cleaning out their old rooms of the detritus the always seemed to accumulate under furniture and in corners.

Like this old credit card bill of Dante's from...April of 2017. Kathy snorted and rolled her eyes, preparing to toss it into the bin that was half-full of junk when she noticed that one of the items on there was in Hangul. Wait. Had Dante been learning stuff in Korean?

Wait. 김치 크림 파이. Was that a-- Kathy grabbed her phone and did a quick search and yep. It was pretty much exactly the kind of website she'd been expecting with a name like that. Definitely didn't have to do with desserts, that was for damn sure.

"Oh." She wasn't entirely sure what to make of it, especially since that was back when everything had still been really...rough...between them. They'd been friends, in a tentative kind of manner, but no more. So then why...?

"Hi, Portalocity? I've got a portal scheduled to Limbo City for later on this evening, but I was wondering, could I bump it up to earlier than that? Something this afternoon would be good, yeah."

"You brought them up," Dante pointed out.

[spin_kick_snap]

"Yeah, but the way you jumped on that, I almost believed you had some," Kathy said, laughing. "Ah well, it was a nice dream while it lasted."

[rebelseekspizza]

"I guess I could do a suit jacket," Dante mused.

And not much else.

[spin_kick_snap]

"Which you would pair with...body glitter and a red leather codpiece?" Kathy asked, because she had met him, thank you.

[rebelseekspizza]

"I'd wear pants," Dante said.

What kind of pants, though...

[spin_kick_snap]

"Hot and/or leather?" Kathy guessed, grinning at him.

And, yeah, even though she was pretty sure she'd be throwing him against the nearest flat surface if he ever showed up in formal wear, she couldn't deny the idea of Dante in a suit jacket and leather pants was a really nice combination, too.

Kathy, stop lusting after your boyfriend. You just finished.

[rebelseekspizza]

"Both," Dante agreed, grinning.

He had no problem with her lusting after him. None. At. All.

[spin_kick_snap]

"This is why I can't bring you to the opera," Kathy sighed. "No one would be looking at the stage!"

Including her.

"...Which is at least 20 percent of your secret scheme to get out of going in the first place, I bet."

[rebelseekspizza]

"Nah, I'd want them to look at the stage so they wouldn't be looking at us," Dante said, winking.

[spin_kick_snap]

"You're not allowed to seduce me at a fancy theater," Kathy lied. "I am there for the culture."

And hopefully he'd believe that because Kathy knew it would be the perfect opportunity to play with getting caught and the minute he started anything, she'd be so done oh god.

[rebelseekspizza]

"Uh huh."

Dante kissed her neck.

"You'd be wet the second I slid my fingers up your skirt," he said. "Watchin' 'em sing."

[spin_kick_snap]

Kathy whimpered. "Nuh-unh."

Honestly, Kath, this was just sad.

[rebelseekspizza]

"Think about all those stuffy old people who'd have no fucking clue what's going on," Dante said, sliding his fingers idly along her stomach. "Wouldn't even put these in you, at first. I know just where to press to make you forget the whole theater..."

[spin_kick_snap]

Goosebumps broke out where his fingers trailed and he could feel the sudden unevenness in her breathing. "You wouldn't," she said, voice weak. "You wouldn't drop however much on tickets and go somewhere with a dress code all just to make me lose it up in a balcony somewhere."

[rebelseekspizza]

"You've met me, right, Kat?" Dante asked, letting his fingers stray - gently - across her folds. He pressed another kiss to her jaw, close to her ear. "I really would."

[spin_kick_snap]

Honestly it was his voice that made her shiver more than his finger, a world of promise in his tone. "Fuck me," she breathed.

Because he would.

And now she half-wanted him to.

Fuck.

[rebelseekspizza]

Dante repressed a laugh. He didn't want to wreck his own spell too fast.

So he bit down on her neck the moment those words were out of her mouth.

[spin_kick_snap]

Kathy cried out, back arching right off the bed and her eyes closing as pleasure washed over her, radiating from that bite all the way down to her toes. Her hands flew up to his head, fingers knotting in his hair.

Her whole body was a livewire of anticipation, damn his beautiful blue eyes.

[rebelseekspizza]

"You'd have to be quiet," Dante said. He pressed his finger against her clit. "Can't let them know you sing better than anybody on stage."

[spin_kick_snap]

That was not the place to put your finger if you wanted her quiet, Dante!

Kathy drew in a long, shuddering breath, but managed not to vocalize anything. Her eyes were closed, chest rising and falling, all pale skin and coral nipples that perked and hardened beneath his gaze.

"Most performances are three hours long," she murmured. "I would die before the end."

[rebelseekspizza]

"Guess I'd have to be nice," Dante said, rubbing her slowly, in easy circles. "Let you come right there..."

[spin_kick_snap]

"Time it right so I come on a literal high note," Kathy said, with a giggle that turned into a gasp. "And then fuck me during the ten minutes of intermission..."

Somewhere deep inside the theater, among all the ornate trappings of culture and high society and, god dammit, even that was hot. Dante pounding into her among exotic woods and gilding, their noises muffled by a fall of red velvet...

This was going to be a story, even if it never really happened.

[rebelseekspizza]

"Bet it's soft even near the walls in a place that expensive," Dante mused, slowly increasing the pressure on her.

His other hand slid over and cupped one of her breasts.

[spin_kick_snap]

"You'd have to fuck me with your hand over my mouth," Kathy murmured as the trickle of moisture turned into a flood, soaking his fingers. She arched into his hand at the same time she sought his mouth. "You get me going and I can't stay quiet..."

[rebelseekspizza]

Dante opened his mouth to her, toying with her breast as they kissed. His fingers dipped down, between her lips, into the waiting wetness between her legs.

When he broke the kiss, it was to slide the palm of his hand over mouth. "Shh."
